Hi! I’m Cassie. I am a homeschooling mom to two elementary aged children, with a toddler and a fourth baby on the way! When I’m not teaching, running my home or giving my children their twelfth snack for the day, I am a digital product creator for all things homeschool and travel.

I believe that the world and our experiences in it can be a valuable teacher, so I am always looking for ways to incorporate education into our adventures (and vice versa). I share all of our resources here and give real feedback from our adventures – the good, bad and the ugly! I promise that I’m not trying to sell you anything (though you’re welcome to browse my shop if you feel so inclined). I want to be a help to all those who are trying to figure out how to balance education and experiences in this crazy life. If you’ve ever wondered if budget travel with a large family is possible, or how to learn on the go with toddlers and babies in tow, you are in the right place.

My Why

When we started homeschooling, I was in love, absolutely smitten with the idea of learning every single day. Our school days were short, and it was just my oldest in kindergarten. We had a blast! And then we burned out. Hard. I began to miss day trips out of the house and vacations where learning felt natural and not forced. We changed a lot of the way we homeschooled, and we started taking those day trips and vacations. I just built our education around our life. We’re thriving now, even after bringing another baby into the world and pregnant with number 4.

Every day I see parents on the internet who are overwhelmed and burnt out like I was. This blog has become my way to reach out to them. And if my experience can help just one person go from burnt out to thriving, then my time here was worth it!
